Proof text below that Christ is coming with ANGELS, not believers. Understand that it doesn't make sense to say Christ comes with believers since the whole point of His coming is to GATHER THEM! God is bringing with Christ the believers--another way to say it is Christ is bringing with Him the believers from earth to heaven. They are NOT coming down with him from heaven.
Satan is coming. Satan is coming to deceive. Satan is coming to OVERCOME the world.
Upon the world RIGHT NOW are billions of Christians who have not died and gone on to be with the Lord. Lets just say that Satan was kicked to the earth a while back and had deceived the world (EXCEPT THE CHRISTIANS who had put on the armor) and had now killed the two witnesses and it is 3 1/2 days later and the two witnesses rise
HERE COMES CHRIST AND ALL OF OUR BRETHREN who have died through out the last 6000 years a part of the army.
ON EARTH, are all the Christians we see today. SOME have endured to the end, have overcome the deception, have not been taken, have remained faithful to GOD, have been given up for the 10 day trial, have stood and withstood BECAUSE they put on the gospel armor, they took extra oil to keep themselves in the light (knowledge) did not go buy and sell did not take the mark of the beast. SOON, these will be the only people in the flesh on the planet earth BECAUSE all the rest, no matter who they were before Satan arrived HAVE TAKEN the mark of the beast and will now be 'Destroyed' just like Satan (except Satan bound and sealed and NOT RISING FOR 1000 years). They are THE DEAD. DEAD WHEN worshipping Satan because 'there was no LIFE (CHRIST) in them and now physically dead.
AND THE DEAD RISE FIRST
And then those who are alive and remaining are CHANGED and go to MEET UP WITH THE BRETHREN coming with Christ for the DAY in which they will rule and reign with Him for 1000 years over all those 'DEAD'.
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
1Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father,
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
